MONTREAL
- Twitter co-founder Biz Stone showed a picture of himself dressed in a
tuxedo with a huge smile on his face, holding hands with his wife, in a
wedding dress, covering her face with her hand.
"This photo was
taken about 30 seconds after I got married," Stone told an audience of
about 1,000 at a luncheon Wednesday at the Palais des congrès. "I look
like the happiest guy and the world, and my wife looks like she made a
big mistake."
In town to speak as the invited guest of the Board
of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal, Stone said businesses and
entrepreneurs need to take pride in their mistakes. If he hadn't, he
never would have created the microblogging si

Windows 8 is a very different Windows. We've already seen that it will require Windows users to learn new ways of interacting with their computers,
but there's more to it than that. The way applications work and
interact with each other on the new platform is new and different—and
rather good.

Apple's special media event—one
that many believe to be for the next-generation iPad—is now mere days
away. By this time next week, we'll know once and for all how many of
those pesky pre-event rumors were true and which ones were made up by
"optimistic" sources.
Because there are so many elements to consider for the
as-yet-unannounced iPad, which is colloquially being referred to as the
"iPad 3," we thought we'd round them up in one spot to talk about what
seems most plausible.
I once had a chance to hijack the Voyager
spacecraft — or at least that's how it seemed. It was back in 1999 and I
was in a red-brick building on an unremarkable stretch of Madre Street
in Pasadena, a little outpost of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
that was home to the few lonely consoles still monitoring the twin
Voyager spacecraft. Even at that point, the ships had long since
completed their primary missions. Voyager 1 was 6.51 billion miles from
Earth; Voyager 2 was 5.02 billion, and while they were (and indeed,
still are) beaming back information about the deepest reaches of the
solar system, it was hardly the kind of picture-rich data-stream that
requires a full-blown mission control team to manage. So it was down to
just a console or two on Madre Street, one of which was unattended and
bore a bright orange

London: Actress Jennifer Lawrence says she doesn`t diet because she would rather exercise to stay in shape.
The 21-year-old star of forthcoming
movie `The Hunger Games` said that while she loves to hit the gym, she
does not enjoy depriving herself of food, reported Showbizspy.
"I
hate saying, `I like exercising`. I want to punch people who say that
in the face. But it`s nice being in shape for a movie, because they
basically do it all for you. It`s like, `Here`s your trainer. This is
what yo

Several weeks ago, I bought some exercise videos online. Then I
noticed that whenever I did an Internet search about anything, an ad for
that same video package and other similar workout videos kept popping
up. It was spooky.
The whole thing reminded me of two scenes from the Tom Cruise
movie "Minority Report.” In one, as Cruise is walking through a mall,
various holographic ads pop up. There’s a commercial for Lexus, and, as
Cruise strolls along, a voiceover says: "The road you’re on, John
Anderton, is the one less traveled.” Another says: "John Anderton! You
could use a Guinness right about now.” It’s creepy.
LOS ANGELES — Ralph McQuarrie, the cinematic designer known for the
famous "Star Wars" characters such as Darth Vader, Chewbacca and R2-D2,
has died at age 82, his website announced Sunday.
McQuarrie, who died Saturday, collaborated with George Lucas on the
original "Star Wars" trilogy in the 1970s
McQuarrie, who
died Saturday, collaborated with George Lucas on the original "Star
Wars" trilogy in the 1970s and with Steven Spielberg on films including
"E.T," and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
He also was part
of the team with director Ron Howard which made "Cocoon," a 1985
production which won an Oscar for special effects.
General Motors Co. (GM), missing
sales goals for the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid, plans to
halt production of the sedan for five weeks beginning later
this month rather than discount the high-technology cars.
GM will stop making Volts at its Detroit-Hamtramck
assembly plant from March 19 until April 23, Chris Lee, a
company spokesman, said in an e-mail March 2. The factory
had ramped up to full-speed production Feb. 6 after the New
Year’s shutdown.
While sales of the Volt in February more than tripled
from a year earlier to 1,023, the rate is below what’s
needed to meet Chief Executive Officer Dan Akerson’s goal
of 45,000 deliveries in the U.S. this year. GM missed its
target of 10,000 Volt sales last year, finishing 201
